Problems Of Excessive Alcohol Consumption Posted By: Esteri

Problems Of Excessive Alcohol Consumption Posted By: Esteri: "Drinking problems are currently one of the major world burden experienced today because of its great potential of causing many diseases and deaths per year.

One may wonder, the reasons behind the increased number of those who really can handle swallowing multiple bottles in no time, at this age of hard living.

Signs that indicate irresistible desire for a drink involve nausea, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, tremors, sleeplessness and neglect of other endeavors in life since lots of time is spent in drinking and recovery process.

Addiction problem is not only addressed in terms of the level of consumption but also the drinking patterns.

Some come home from worthy jobs and open a bottle of wine, and before they know it, they have finished it off and opening one more to numb their stress.

Teenagers will sneak from home with friends during the weekends; they get drunk to test their limits and have fun.

The no- brains- for- alcohol drinker fears ever going to parties because after only one or two glasses, they feel either drunk or faintly ill, yet they feel that they need to drink to relax in social gatherings."

Say Yes To Life And No To Drugs Posted By: Kevin JSmith

Say Yes To Life And No To Drugs Posted By: Kevin JSmith: "It has been wisely said that life is nothing but a series of changes. From the time that we are born till the time that we die, we have to go through a series of changes. Some people have a very healthy outlook towards these transitions. Whatever challenge life throws at them they accept it with grace and dignity. In many cases there are situations when an individual finds it tough to get along with life with all its twists and turns. These are the individuals who are most likely to succumb to the golden honey trap of drugs and other substances. A major cause of worry is the rising instance of teenage substance abuse. Majority of the nations in the world today are facing the problem of teenage substance abuse. This is a matter of great concern. Many teenagers find it difficult to cope with the pressures of growing up in a competitive environment and thus take refuge in drugs and other substances. Even among adults, according to many drug abuse centers, the abuse of drugs is quite high. The reason could well be the transition stages like unemployment and divorce from spouse. "

Drug Rehab Help



When it comes to drug addiction there are several ways to go about cleaning up, and getting your life back on track. In my opinion there are two choices in getting drug rehab help. You can choose to detox on your own, which I highly discourage, or you can seek out drug treatment clinics. Again, having tried both on my own I recommend seeking professional help through a drug rehab center, or drug treatment clinics in the area.

Affordable Drug Rehab Treatment Vs Luxury Treatment Centers - And Everything In Between Posted By: Ron Prosky

Affordable Drug Rehab Treatment Vs Luxury Treatment Centers - And Everything In Between Posted By: Ron Prosky: "Most recovering addicts - or 'ex-addicts' as some choose to term it - prefer to keep their personal struggles with addiction as quiet as possible when dealing with the general public. In the interest of drawing an important example, however, I will disclose one key element pertaining to my own previous struggles with substance abuse. Looking back from when I first reached the point in my addiction that required admission to rehab, to my very last treatment center not too terribly long ago, one consistency boldly stands out. As the years and numerous trips to rehab went by, the level of posh AND luxury progressively diminished. From private accommodations and 5-star cuisine to skid row shelters and army cots in a gymnasium-type setting, my affluent upbringing and formal education became nothing more than a distant memory.

Today, I have the fortune of not only living a life beyond my wildest dreams, but the experience of having had numerous opportunities to work in various formal and informal addiction treatment settings, all of which have played an integral role into who I am today. "

5 signs that someone you know may need alcohol rehab

5 signs that someone you know may need alcohol rehab: "

alcohol


You can’t expect an individual to stand up and declare “I need help from an alcohol rehab program!” The majority of those who have an alcohol addiction are likely to be in a state of deep denial about the true nature of their problem – and may fall deeper and deeper into a downward spiral as a result.


Therefore, it is up to family and friends to recognize the signs of alcoholism so that they can get their loved ones the help they need.


The following are five of the most common signs that someone needs alcohol rehab treatment.



  1. Poor performance at work or school. Those who struggle with alcoholism may see a rapid drop off in classroom performance as well as on the job. Many individuals who are drinking at work will be unable to focus on the tasks at hand and will fall behind in the general work flow.

  2. Drinking at socially unacceptable times. Alcoholics will drink throughout the course of the day and well into the night. They are more likely to drink alone, and may keep consuming alcohol even when the rest of their peer group has stopped. Look for hidden “stashes” of alcohol around the house.

  3. Encounters with the law. Alcoholics tend to put themselves and others at risk with the law. Driving while intoxicated or engaging in fist-fights are just two of the ways those with an alcohol addiction can run afoul of the law.

  4. Exhibits depression or other mental health issues. Almost half of those individuals who suffer from an alcohol addiction are also suffering from a serious mental health issue. Be mindful of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other illnesses – as they may accompany alcoholism.

  5. Has relationship troubles. Some alcoholics become abusive when they drink – leading to physical altercations with their spouse or significant other. Many alcoholics simply withdraw into a shell – closing down the lines of communication and harming their relationship in the process.
